Localizer supports

The correct vertical angle of landing enables a precise approach to an airport. Together with glidepath towers, localizer systems (also known as landing-course transmitters) provide the pilots with all important information for a safe and clean touchdown.

Maximum passive safety is assured here. To protect aircraft and passengers in case of a collision, Europoles offers a localizer system made of fiberglass-reinforced plastics. This material is especially stable and stiff, but it snaps off in case of impact and thereby minimizes any possible accident consequences.

Crash-Test

The materials used in our localizer systems prevent reflection and interference with radar or radio operation. Even the strongest winds produce only slight deflection. An additional plus: localizer systems by Europoles need very little maintenance. The lightweight structure itself is design with single segments to present minimum hazard to aircraft.

Simple height compensation: in cases of extreme slopes in the terrain after the runway, localizer antennas are mounted on FRP stilts, which also provide a gangway.
